I would suggest filing for a modification of custody, asking the court to keep her from removing the child/children out of the state and complaint for the ex to assist in travel expenses that you already pay.
You can file a motion to modify custody and ask the court to either modify the custodial schedule, require your former spouse to pay a portion of travel expenses, or order that your child remain in the state.

Can I get the Motion to Modify Custody on the court website, or will it be necessary to go down to the court?
Thanks
I found www.nccourts.org where most of the forms for NC are found. Just click on ‘forms’ and if you don’t already know the number, type in “custody” or “support” and every form they have regarding each will come up. Most you can download right there.
Good luck!
There is no form for a motion to modify custody, however if you live in Wake County there is a self service center available at the courthouse that may be able to assist you with this issue.

Thanks, do you know where in the courthouse I should go for help on that?
In Wake County the self serve center is on the 11th floor.

I dropped my daughter off at my ex’s house yesterday following our every other weekend visitation. She informed me that she is going for a job in Georgia now. If she takes this job in Georgia, it will literally double the time I spend on the road every other weekend for visitation. Currently, I drive 600 miles every other weekend just for visitation. I ran a mapquest direction calculation on where her perspective job will be and it literally doubled the distance between my daugher and my house. I currently get no compensation for gasoline as it is, this would literally bankrupt me in gas, not to mention the wear and tear on my car as well as the possible problems it will present to my daughter. She is doing very well in school right now and I fear that tearing her away from where she is (she is 9) will cause her academic problems. The reason I say this is past history. When my ex decided to leave, she took my son, who was 9 at the time, out of a school where he was on the honor roll and pulled him 150 miles away. He has had academic problems ever since and never recovered. What form do I need to file to keep my ex from moving my daughter out of state. I simply must put a stop to this.
